摘要
Crystalline InN powder has been prepared by the nitridation of In2O3 and In(OH)(3) with NH3 gas for the first time, and ultrafine InN powder in the size range 50-300 nm and with a specific surface area of 8 m(2) g(-1) has been obtained using In2O3 nanoparticles as the starting material. The resulting powders were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, TG-DSC and BET surface area techniques. It was found that nanosized In2O3 was completely converted into InN at 600 degreesC within 8 h. The thermal stability of the ultrafine InN powder in air and under a nitrogen atmosphere was also investigated. It was observed that InN began to be oxidized into In2O3 at 389 degreesC and decomposed in the narrow temperature range of 595-696 degreesC in flows of air and N-2, respectively.
